Attention but with few demonstrations. The con-
Guiding lines of the Civil Service plank, calling Tor

THE TICKET REACHED AT LAST.
There remained nothing then but to name the
ticket which could have been very speedily done
if O dozen of the members had not been stuffed
with nominating speeches.
Donald McNaushton, of Monroe. presented Sec
Rotary Of state Frederick Cook for denomination.
Colonel Fellows. who had meanwhile come up to
the platform, found ont that he was expected to
make speech and plunged into an address second
ing the nomination with the air of man who had
been absorbed for twenty-four hours in deep con-
temptation of the virtues OF Frederick Cook. The
Colonel has the gift Of glibness. and can plan ont
an Grafton between the time the top of his bald
head begins 10 move upward and he SHOWS himself
fully TO the convention looking for all the world
like q chubby statue OF Julius Cesar in trousers.
Mr. Cook was nominated b. acclamat ion OF course.
and so was Edward Wempie for Controller.

made. FIRST John q. Ashs, of Montgomery, Dep

A strike Stand on.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 0.-Another
conference with the Reading managers
and employees was held yesterday after
noon. At the conclusion it was an
nounced that an agreement was
reached and there will be no strike.
All the parties refused to make terms
known. 1t is understood that the
men presented grievances concerning
men along the coal wharves at Eliza
bethport, who went out against re-
duction of pay. The reinstatement of
the men and some others Mt the old
rates of wages was demanded, it is
said, and upon this question an agree
ment was reached and signed. This
agreement is only to apply, however,
where former employees of the Reading
as distinguished from the New Jersey
road, are concerned. Men to the num-
ber OF 1000 met at Port Richmond
last night and unanimously ratified
the agreement.

Condition OF the stock Market.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-Reports to the
Drover's Journal indicate that fully as
many cattle as usual are being fed
with some sections, notably in Kansa $
and Nebraska, showing large in
crease. Hogs are generally very scarce.
Some sections report fair number of
pigs for the summer and fall market,
but as rule, not within twelve and a
half per cono. as many as usual. Des-
ease has been one OF the principal
causes of decrease, but it is not now
prevalent as last year and two years
ago. With regard to prices and the
general outlook cattle raisers feel
somewhat discouraged, while hog
raisers are jubilant. Sheep rlisers
feel one hundred per cent better than
one year ago.

Accident or Tragedy.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-An Inter-Ocean
special from Des Moines, Iowa, says
"News was received here to-day of Al
horrible accident, or tragedy, that oc-
Cured yesterday about six miles north
east of Jefferson. A small farm house
occupied by man named Lucklum
was entirely consumed by fire at 3
O'Clock in the afternoon, and Luck
lum's aged father, wife and son were
burned TO death therein. Two neigh
boring women saw the flames and
tried to get in, but the doors were fas-
tened with the occupants inside. This,
together with the fact that gun and
revolver were found near the remains
of the old couple, indicate foul play,
possible murder and suicide.

tuyal convention to-day, IL resolution

tion of national viticultural associa-
tion, greeting it as co-worker in

ton was Introduced setting forth

ment of the convention that such an

Discussing sweets.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 8.-The National
Sugar Growers association met in this
city this afternoon. Pressure OF busi-
ness delayed J. Coleman, former conn
missioner of agriculture, president Of
the association, at Washington, and A.
M. Scoville, director of the agricul-
tural station at Lexington, Ky. Presi-
dent Coleman's address was read by
the secretary. IL showed that the to-
tai production Of cane sugar in 1885
and 1886 was 3,l97 600 meterie tons,
and in 1SS6-87 was 2,36S,OOO meteric
tons. The production of sugar from
sorghum cane in this county from
Europe had only lately commenced,
but it has already reached an amount
equal to our total production of all
kinds of sugar. The commissioners
considers that upon the whole, al-
though the expectations of year ago
have not been realized, the outlook is
f. 'orable for Urge production OF
sugar from sorghum by the adoption
of the new processes Of diffusion and
saturatiOn.

A TERRIBLE SITUATION.

Mr.. Henry W. Tewksbury, of West
Randolph, VT, the lecturer, states that
he was in the first day coach. He was
dosing at the time of the accident, but
was aroused by feeling the car Jump
ing on the railroad ties. He had been
in two railroad accidents before this
one and knew what the sensation por-
tended. Realizing that an accident
was about to occur, he jumped from
his seat with the intention of making
his escape. The train seemed to come
to stand still or was going very
slowly. lie thought it was all right
and so sat down again then without u
moments warning that anything fur
ther was to occur, the car seemed to
leap into space and then came the ter
rible crash. For moment he was
stunned and scarcely knew whether he
was dead or alive. He tried to move
but found that he could not bulge an
inch. He noticed with great alarm
that
FIRE HAD BROKEN OUT
at the further end of the coach. He
struggled with all his strength to free
himself and screamed for help, but
there was no one ut hand to help him.
1t was time OF mental torture, but
still he could not help noticing an old
couple who were few seats ahead of
him. They sought to get out but they
were hopelessly tied down by heavy
seats. The flames approached the
couple with frghtful rapidity, and the
aged pair seemed to feel that there
was no hope for them, The last he
saw OF them they were locked in each
others arms and in the act OF kissing.
The smoke and flames now cnveloped
them, hiding them from view. Mr..
Tewksbury then gave himself up for
lost He seized his fur cap and wound
it around his face so as to cover his
eyes and
HIDE THE DREADFUL VIEW
from approaching death. AT this time
the railroad bridge above him was one
mass of fire and heavy burning timb-
ers were falling all about him. Hav-
ing leaned back resignedly to meet
what seemed his fearful fate his hopes
of life were renewed by hearing voices.
He unwound his fur cap and saw the
engineer and fireman close at hand.
He called to them frantically for as
sistancc, which they preferred at once.
Selling hold of him his rcscuers sought
to pull him out but failed. Thinking
his was IL hopeless case they were
about to leave him and help others,
but he begged them to try again and
to break his leg il necessary. They
did so and managed to get him out,
breaking II leg and arm in the effort.
The flames were so close upon Mr..
Tewksbury that his clothing was
burned from his body.

''The sun doth nourish Agues." therefore in Summer months it is only a measure of common prudence to guard against malarious diseases, intermittent fevers, agues and bil- ious attacks.
 'Many cases of Fever and Ague, Dumb Ague and Congestive Chills were promptly arrested and entirely banished by the use of Simmons Liver Regulator. You don't say half enough in regard to the efficacy of that valuable medicine. Believe me when l say I was a sufferer for years and only found relief by its use. .''-RoBERT J. WEEKS, Batavia.
